Product Description
The 25 series Seri al Flash family features a four-wire,
SPI-compatible interface that allows for a low pin-count
package which occupies less board space and ulti-
mately lowers total system costs. The SST25PF020B
devices are enhanced with improved operating fre-
quency and even lower power consumption.
SST25PF020B SPI serial flash memories are manu-
factured with proprietary, high-performance CMOS
SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design and
thick-oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and
manufacturability compared with alternate approaches.
The SST25PF020B devices significantly improve per-
formance and reliability, while lowering power con-
sumption. The devices write (Program or Erase) with a
single power supply of 2.3-3.6V for SST25PF020B.
The total energy consumed is a function of the applied
voltage, current, and time of applicati on. Since for any
given voltage range, the SuperFlash technology uses
less current to program and has a shorter erase time,
the total energy consumed during any Erase or Pro-
gram operation is less than alternative flash memory
technologies.
The SST25PF020B device is offered in 8-lead SOIC
(150 mils), 8-contact WSON (6mm x 5mm), and 8-con-
tact USON (3mm x 2mm) p ackages. See Figure 2-1 for
pin assignments.

3.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
Th e SST25PF020B S u p e r Fl a s h memory array is orga-
nized in uniform 4 KByte erasable sectors with 32
KByte overlay blocks and 64 KByte overlay erasable
blocks.
4.0 DEVICE OPERATION
The SS T2 5PF 02 0B is accessed through the SPI (Serial
Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol. The SPI
bus consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is
used to select the device, and data is accessed through
the Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and
Serial Clock (SCK).
The SST25PF020B supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and
Mode 3 (1,1) of SPI bus operations. The difference
between the two modes, as shown in Figure 4-1, is the
state of the SCK signal when the bus master is in
Standby mode and no data is being transferred. The
SCK signal is low for Mode 0 and SCK signal is high for
Mode 3. For both modes, the Serial Data In (SI) is sam-
pled at the rising edge of the SCK clock signal and the
Serial Data Output (SO) is dri ven after the falling ed ge
of the SCK clock signal.
FIGURE 4-1: SPI PROTOCOL
4.1 Hold Operation
The HOLD# pin is used to pause a serial sequence
underway with the SPI flash memory without resetting
the clocking sequence. To activate the HOLD# mode,
CE# must be in active low state. The HOLD# mode
begins when the SCK active low state coincides with
the falling edge of the HOLD# signal. The HOLD mode
ends when the HOLD# signal’s rising edge coincides
with the SCK active low state.
If the falling edge of the HOLD# signal does not coin-
cide with the SCK active low state, then the device
enters Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the
active low state. Similarly, if the rising edge of the
HOLD# signal does not coincide with the SCK active
low state, then the device exits in Hold mode when the
SCK next reaches the active low state. See Figure 4-2
for Hold Condition waveform.
Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in high-
impedance state while SI and SCK can be VIL or VIH.
If CE# is driven high during a Hold condition, the device
returns to Standby mode. As long as HOLD# signal is
low, the memory remains in the Hold condition. To
resume communication with the device, HOLD# must
be driven active high, and CE# must be driven active
low. See Figure 4-2 for Hold timing.

4.2 Write Protection
SS T25 PF0 2 0B provides software W rite protection. The
Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lock-
down function of the status register. The Block-Protec-
tion bits (BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status register , and
the Top/Bottom Sector Protection S tatus bits (TSP and
BSP) in Status Register 1, provide Write protection to
the memory array and the status register. See Table 4-
4 for the Block-Protection description.
4.2.1 WRITE PROTECT PIN (WP#)
The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down
function of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register.
When WP# is driven low, the execution of the Write-
Status-Register (WRSR) instruction is determined by
the value of the BPL bit (see Table 4-1). When WP# is
high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled.
4.3 Status Register
The software status register provides status on
whether the flash memory array is available for any
Read or Write operation, whether the device is Write
enabled, and the state of the Memory Write protection.
During an internal Erase or Program operation, the sta-
tus register may be read only to determine the comple-
tion of an operation in progress. Table 4-2 describes
the function of each bit in the software status register.

4.4 Software Status Register 1
The Software S tatus Register 1 is an additional register that
contains Top Sector and Bottom Sector Protection bits.
These register bits are read/writable and determine the lock
and unlock status of the top and bottom sectors. Table 4-3
describes the function of each bit in the Software Status
Register 1.
4.4.1 BUSY
The Busy bit determines whether there is an internal
Erase or Program operation in progress. A “1” for the
Busy bit indicates the device is busy with an operation
in progress. A “0” indicates the device is ready for the
next valid operation.
4.4.2 WRITE ENABLE LATCH (WEL)
The Write-Enable-Latch bit indicates the status of the
internal memory Write Enable Latch. If the Write-
Enable-Latch bit is set to “1”, it indicates the device is
Write enabled. If the bit is set to “0” (reset), it indicates
the device is not Write enabled and does not accept
any memory Write (Program/Erase) commands. The
Write-Enable-Latch bit is automatically reset under the
following conditions:
Power-up
Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction completion
Byte-Progra m instruction completion
Auto Address Increment (AAI) programming is
completed or reached its highest unprotected
memory address
Sector-Erase instruction completion
Block-Erase instruction completion
Chip-Erase instruction completion
Write-St atus-Register instruction completion
4.4.3 AUTO ADDRESS INCREMENT (AAI)
The Auto Address Increment Programming-Status bit
provides status on whether the device is in AAI pro-
gramming mode or Byte-Program mode. The default at
power up is Byte-Program mode.
4.4.4 BLOCK PROTECTION (BP1, BP0)
The Block-Protection (BP1, BP0) bits define the size of
the memory area, as defined in Table 4-4, to be so ftware
protected against any memory Write (Program or Erase)
operation. The Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruc-
tion is used to program the BP1 and BP0 bit s as long as
WP# is high or the Block-Protect-Lock (BPL) bit is 0.
Chip-Erase can only be executed if Block-Protectio n bits
are all 0. After power-up, BP1 and BP0 are set to 1.

4.4.5 BLOCK PROTECTION LOCK-DOWN
(BPL)
WP# pin driven low (VIL), enables the Block-Protection-
Lock-Down (BPL) bit. When BPL is set to 1, it prevents
any further alteration of the BPL, BP1, and BP0 bits of
the status register and BSP and TSP of S tatus Register
1. When the WP# pin is dri ven high (VIH), the BPL bit
has no effect and its value is “Don’t Care”. After power-
up, the BPL bit is reset to 0.
4.4.6 TOP-SECTOR PROTECTION/
BOTTOM-SECTOR PROTECTION
The Top-Sector Protection (TSP) and Bottom-Sector
Protection (BSP) bits independently indicate whether
the highest and lowest sector locations are Write
locked or Write accessible. When TSP or BSP is set to
‘1’, the respective sector is Write locked; when set to ‘0’
the respective sector is Write accessible. If TSP or BSP
is set to '1' and if the top or bottom sector i s within the
boundary of the target address range of the program or
erase instruction, the initiated instruction (Byte-Pro-
gram, AAI-Word Program, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase,
and Chip-Erase) will not be executed. Upon power-up,
the TSP and BSP bits are automatically reset to ‘0’.

4.5 Instructions
Instructions are used to read, write (Erase and Pro-
gram), and configure the SST25PF020B. The instruc-
tion bus cycles are 8 bits each for commands (Op
Code), data, and addresses. Prior to executing any
Byte-Program, Auto Address Increment (AAI) program-
ming, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, Write-Status-Regis-
ter, or Chip-Erase instructions, the Write-Enable
(WREN) instruction must be executed first. The com-
plete list of instructions is provided in Table 4-5. All
instructions are synchronized off a high to low transition
of CE#. Inputs will be accepted on the rising edge of
SCK starting with the most significant bit. CE# must be
driven low before an instruction is entered and must be
driven high after the last bit of the instruction has been
shifted in (except for Read, Read-ID, and Read-S t atus-
Register instructions). Any low to high transition on
CE#, before receiving the last bit of an instruction bus
cycle, will terminate the instruction in progress and
return the device to standby mode. Instruction com-
mands (Op Code), addresses, and data are all input
from the most significant bit (MSB) first.

4.5.1 READ (33/25 MHZ)
The Read instruction, 03H, supports up to 33 MHz (2.7-
3.6V operation) or 25 MHz (2.3-2.7V operation) Read.
The device outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses unti l termi nated by a low to high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically incre-
ment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. Once the data from address location 3FFFFH
has been read, the next output will be from address
location 000 000H.
The Read instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit
command, 03H, followed by address bits [A23-A0]. CE#
must remain active low for the duration of the Read
cycle. See Figure 4-3 for the Read sequence.
FIGURE 4-3: READ SEQUENCE
4.5.2 HIGH-SPEED-READ (80/50 MHZ)
The High-Speed-Read in struction, supporting up to 80
MHz (2.7-3.6V operation) or 50 MHz (2 .3-2.7V opera-
tion) Read, is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
0BH, followed by address bits [A23-A0] and a dummy
byte. CE# must remain active low for the duration of the
High-Speed-Read cycle. See Figure 4-4 for the High-
Speed-Read sequence.
Following a dummy cycle, the High-Speed-Read
instruction outputs the data starting from the specified
address location. The data output stream is continuous
through all addresses until terminated by a low to high
transition on CE#. The internal address pointer will
automatically increment until the highest memory
address is reached. Once the highest memory address
is reached, the address pointer will automatically incre-
ment to the beginning (wrap-around) of the address
space. Once the data from address location 3FFFH
has been read, the next output will be from address
location 000 00H.

4.5.3 BYTE-PROGRAM
The Byte-Program instruction programs the bits in the
selected byte to the desired data. The selected byte
must be in the erased state (FFH) when initiating a Pro-
gram operation. A Byte-Program instruction applied to a
protected memory area will be ignored.
Prior to any W rite operation, the W rite-Enable (WREN)
instruction must be executed. CE# must remain active
low for the duration of the Byte-Program instruction.
The Byte-Program instruction is initiated by executing
an 8-bit command, 02H, followed by address bits [A23-
A0]. Following the address, the data is input in order
from MSB (bit 7) to LSB (bit 0). CE# must be driven
high before the instruction is executed. The user may
poll the Busy bit in the software status register or wait
TBP for the completion of the internal self-timed Byte-
Program operation. See Figure 4-5 for the Byte-Pro-
gram sequence.
FIGURE 4-5: BYTE-PROGRAM SEQUENCE
4.5.4 AUTO ADDRESS INCREMENT (AAI)
WORD-PROGRAM
The AAI program instruction allows multiple bytes of
data to be programmed without re-issuing the next
sequential address location. This feature decreases
total programming time when multiple bytes or entire
memory array is to be programmed. An AAI Word pro-
gram instruction pointing to a protected memory area
will be ignored. The selected address range must be in
the erased state (FFH) when initiating an AAI Word
Program operation. While within AAI Word Program-
ming sequence, only the following instructions are
valid: for software end-of-write detection—AAI Word
(ADH), WRDI (04H), and RDSR (05H); for hardware
end-of-write detection—AAI Word (ADH) and WRDI
(04H). There are three options to determine the com-
pletion of each AAI Word program cycle: hardware
detection by reading the Serial Output, software detec-
tion by polling the BUSY bit in th e software status reg-
ister, or wait TBP. Refer to“End-of-Write Detection” for
details.
Prior to any write operation, the Write-Enable (W REN)
instruction must be executed. Initiate the AAI Word
Program instruction by executing an 8-bit command,
ADH, followed by address bits [A23-A0]. Following the
addresses, two bytes of data are input sequentially,
each one from MSB (Bit 7) to LSB (Bit 0). The first byte
of data (D0) is programmed into the initial address [A23-
A1] with A0=0, the second byte of Data (D1) is pro-
grammed into the initial address [A23-A1] with A0=1.
CE# must be driven high before executing the AAI
Word Program instruction. Check the BUSY status
before entering the next valid command. Once the
device indicates it is no longer busy, data for the next
two sequential addresses may be programmed, fol-
lowed by the next two, and so on.
When programming the l ast desired word , or th e high-
est unprotected memory address, check the busy sta-
tus using either the hardware or software (RDSR
instruction) method to check for program completion.
Once programming is complete, use the applicable
method to terminate AAI. If the device is in Software
End-of-Write Detection mode, execute the Write-Dis-
able (WRDI) instruction, 04H. If the device is in AAI
Hardware End-of-Write Detection mode, execute the
Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction, 04H, followed by the
8-bit DBSY command, 80H. There is no wrap mode
during AAI programming once the highest unprotected
memory address is reached. See Fi gures 4-8 and 4-9
for the AAI Word programming sequence.
4.5.5 END-OF-WRITE DETECTION
There are three me thods to dete rmine co mpletion of a
program cycle during AAI Word programming: hard-
ware detection by reading the Serial Output, software
detection by polling the BUSY bit in the Software S tatus
Register, or wait TBP. The Hardware End-of-Write
detection method is described in the section below.

4.5.6 HARDWARE END-OF-WRITE DETECTION
The Hardware End-of-Write detection method elimi-
nates the overhead o f polling the Busy bit in the Soft-
ware Status Register during an AAI Word program
operation. The 8-bit command, 70H, configures the
Serial Output (SO) pin to indicate Flash Busy status
during AAI Word programming. (see Figure 4-6) The 8-
bit command, 70H, must be executed prior to i nitiating
an AAI Word-Program instruction. Once an internal
programming operation begins, asserting CE# will
immediately drive the status of the internal flash status
on the SO pin. A ‘0’ indicates the device i s busy and a
‘1’ indicates the device is ready for the next instruction.
De-asserting CE# will return the SO pin to tri-state.
While in AAI and Hardware End-of-Write detection
mode, the only valid instructions are AAI Word (ADH)
and WRDI (04H).
To exit AAI Hardware End-of-Write detection, first exe-
cute WRDI instruction, 04H, to reset the Write-Enable-
Latch bit (WEL=0) and AAI bit. Then execute the 8-bit
DBSY command, 80H, to disable RY/BY# st atus during
the AAI command. See Figures 4-7 and 4-8.

4.5.7 4-KBYTE SECTOR-ERASE
The Sector-Erase instruction clears all bits in the
selected 4 KByte sector to FFH. A Sector-Erase
instruction applied to a prot ected memory area will be
ignored. Prior to any Write operation, the Write-Enable
(WREN) instruction must be executed. CE# must
remain active low for the duration of any command
sequence. The Sector-Erase instruction is initiated by
executing an 8-bit command, 20H, followed by address
bits [A23-A0]. Address bits [AMS-A12] (AMS =Most Sig-
nificant address) are used to determine the sector
address (SAX), remaining address bits c a n b e V IL or VIH.
CE# must be driven high before the instructi on is exe-
cuted. The user may poll the Busy bit in the software
status register or wait TSE for the completion of the
internal self-timed Sector-Erase cycle. See Figure 4-10
for the Sector-Erase sequence.
FIGURE 4-10: SECTOR-ERASE SEQUENCE
4.5.8 32-KBYTE AND 64-KBYTE BLOCK-
ERASE
The 32-KByte Block-Erase instruction clears all bits in
the selected 32 KByte block to FFH. A Block-Erase
instruction applied to a prot ected memory area will be
ignored. The 64-KByte Block-Erase instruction clears all bits
in the selected 64 KByte block to FFH. A Block-Erase
instruction applied to a protected memory area will be
ignored. Prior to any Write operation, the Write-Enable
(WREN) instruction must be executed. CE # m us t r e ma in
active low for the duration of any command sequ ence.
The 32-KByte Block-Erase instruction is initiated by
executing an 8-bit command, 52H, followed by address
bits [A23-A0]. Address bits [AMS-A15] (AMS = M ost Sig-
nificant Address) are used to determine block address
(BAX), remaining address bits can be VIL or VIH. CE#
must be driven high befo re th e instruction i s executed. T he
64-KByte Block-Erase instruction is initiated by executing an
8-bit command D8H, followed by address bits [A23-A0].
Address bit s [AMS-A16] are used to determine block address
(BAX), re maining address bits can be VIL or VIH. CE# must
be driven high before the instruction is executed. T he user
may poll the Busy bit in the software status register or wait
TBE for the completion of the internal self-timed 32-
KByte Block-Erase or 64-KByte Block-Erase cycles.
See Figures 4-11 and 4-12 for the 32-KByte Block-
Erase and 64-KByte Block-Erase sequences.

4.5.9 CHIP-ERASE
The Chip-Erase instruction clears all bits in the de vice
to FFH. A Chip-Erase instructio n will be ignored if any
of the memory area is pr otected. Pr ior t o any Write oper-
ation, the Write-Enable (WREN) instruction must be exe-
cuted. CE# must remain active low for the duration of
the Chip-Erase instruction sequence. The Chip-Erase
instruction is initiated by executing an 8-bit command,
60H or C7H. CE# must be driven high before the instruction
is executed. The user may poll the Busy bit in the software
status register or wait TCE for the completion of the
internal self-timed Chip-Erase cycle. See Figure 4-13
for the Chip-Erase sequence.
FIGURE 4-13: CHIP-ERASE SEQUENCE
4.5.10 READ-STATUS-REGISTER (RDSR)
The Read-Status-Register (RDSR) instruction allows
reading of the status register. The Status Register ma y
be read at any time even during a Write (Program/
Erase) operation. When a Write operation is in prog-
ress, the Busy bit may be checked before sending any
new commands to assure that the new commands are
properly received by the device. CE# must be driven
low before the RDSR instruction is entered and remain
low until the status data is read. Read-Status-Register
is continuous with ongoing clock cycles until it is termi-
nated by a low to high transition of the CE#. See Figure
4-14 for the RDSR instruction sequence.

4.5.12 WRITE -ENABLE (WREN)
The Write-Enable (WREN) instruction sets the Write-
Enable-Latch bit in the Status Register to 1 allowing
Write operations to occur. The WREN instruction must
be executed prior to any Write (Program/Erase) opera-
tion. The WREN instruction ma y also be used to allow
execution of the Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruc-
tion; however, the Write-Enable-Latch bit in the Status
Register will be cleared upon the rising edge CE# of the
WRSR instruction. CE# must be driven high before the
WREN instruction is executed.

4.5.13 WRITE-DISABLE (WRDI)
The Write-Disable (WRDI) instruction resets the Write-
Enable-Latch bit and AAI bit to 0 disabling any new
Write operations from occurring. The WRDI instruction
will not terminate a ny programming operation in prog-
ress. Any program operation in progress may continue
up to TBP after executing the WRDI instruction. CE#
must be driven high before the WRDI instruction is exe-
cuted.
FIGURE 4-17: WRITE DISABLE (WRDI) SEQUENCE
4.5.14 ENABLE-WRITE-STATUS-
REGISTER (EWSR)
The Enable-Write-Status-Register (EWSR) instruction
arms the Write-Status-Register (WRSR) instruction
and opens the status re gister for al tera tion. T he Write-
Status-Register instruction must be executed immedi-
ately after the execution of the Enable-Write-Status-
Register instruction. This two-step instruction
sequence of the EWSR instruction followed by the
WRSR instruction works like SDP (software data pro-
tection) command structure which prevents any acci-
dental alteration of the status register values. CE# must
be driven low before the EWSR instruction is entered
and must be driven high before the EWSR instruction
is executed.
4.5.15 WRITE-STATUS-REGISTER (WRSR)
The Write-Status-Register instruction writes new val-
ues to the BP1, BP0, and BPL bit s of the status register .
CE# must be driven low before the command
sequence of the WRSR instruction is entered and
driven high before the WRSR instruction is executed.
See Figure 4-18 for EWSR or WREN and WRSR for
byte-data input sequences.
Executing the Write-Status-Register instruction will be
ignored when WP# is low and BPL bit is set to “1”.
When the WP# is low, the BPL bit can only be set from
“0” to “1” to lock-down the status register , but cannot be
reset from “1” to “0”. When WP# is high, the lock-down
function of the BPL bit is disabled and the BPL, BP0,
and BP1 bits in the status register can all be changed.
As long as BPL bit is set to 0 or WP# pin is driven high
(VIH) prior to the low-to-high transition of the CE# pin at
the end of the WRSR instruction, the bits in the status
register can all be altered by th e WRSR instruction. In
this case, a single WRSR instruction can set the BPL
bit to “1” to lock down the status register as well as
altering the BP0, BP1, and BP2 bits at the same time.
See Table 4-1 for a summary description of WP# and
BPL functions.

SST25PF020B
The Write-Status-Register instruction also writes new
values to the Status Register 1. To write values to Sta-
tus Register 1, the WRSR sequence needs a word-
data input—the first byte being the St atus Register bits,
followed by t he second byte S tatus Register 1 bits. CE#
must be driven low before the command sequence of
the WRSR instruction is entered and driven high before
the WRSR instruction is executed. See Figure 4-19 for
EWSR or WREN and WRSR instruction word-data
input sequences.
Executing the Write-Status-Register instruction will be
ignored when WP# is low and BPL bit is set to ‘1’. When
the WP# is low, the BPL bit can only be se t from ‘0’ to
‘1’ to lock-down the status registers, but cannot be
reset from ‘1’ to ‘0’. When WP# is high, the lock-do wn
function of the BPL bit is disabled and the BPL, BP0,
BP1, TSP, and BSP bit s in the status register can all be
changed. As long as BPL bit is set to 0 or WP# pin is
driven high (VIH) prior to the low-to-high transition of the
CE# pin at the end of the WRSR instruction, the bits in
the status register can all be altered by the WRSR
instruction. In this case, a single WRSR instruction can
set the BPL bit to “1” to lock down the status register as
well as altering the BPL, BP0, BP1, TSP, and BSP bits
at the same time. See Table 4-1 for a summary descrip-
tion of WP# and BPL functions.
FIGURE 4-19: ENABLE-WRITE-STATUS-REGISTER (EWSR) OR WRITE-ENABLE (WREN) AND
WRITE-STATUS-REGISTER (WRSR) WORD-DATA INPUT SEQUENCE
The WRSR instruction can either execute a byte-data
or a word-data input. Extra data/clock input, or within
byte-/word-data input, will not be executed. The reason
for the byte support is for backward compatibility to
products where WRSR instruction sequence is fol-
lowed by only a byte-data.

4.5.16 JEDEC READ-ID
The JEDEC Read-ID instruction identifies the device as
SST25PF020B and the manufacturer as Microchip.
The device information can be read from executing the
8-bit command, 9FH. Following the JEDEC Read-ID
instruction, the 8-bit manufactu rer ’s ID, BFH, is output
from the device. After that, a 16-bit device ID is shifted
out on the SO pin. Byte 1, BFH, identifies the manufac-
turer as Microchip. Byte 2, 25H, i dentifies the memory
type as SPI Serial Flash. Byte 3, 8CH, identifies the
device as SST25PF020B. Th e instruction sequence is
shown in Figure 4 -20. Th e JEDEC R ead ID i nstru cti on
is terminated by a lo w to high transitio n o n CE# a t any

The Read-ID instruction (RDID) identifies the devices
as SST2 5PF020 B and manufacturer as Microchip. The
device information can be read from executing an 8-bit
command, 90H or ABH, followed by addre ss bits [A23-
A0]. Following the Read-ID instruction, the manufac-
turer’s ID is located in address 00000H and the device
ID is located in address 00001H. Once the device is in
Read-ID mode, the manufacturer’s and device ID out-
put data toggles between address 00000H and 00001H
until terminated by a low to high transition on CE#.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Dat a
Sheets. Most likely, the person doin g so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection featur es of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’ s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digit al Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design cent ers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperi pherals, nonvola tile memo ry and
analog product s. In addition, Microchip s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
